2. Lucknowi Biryani

From the streets of the nawaab city comes the variant that is simply amazing. The rice is cooked separately in local spices and the marinated meat is added much later. One thing is for sure — the rice will have as much flavour as the meat.

4. Memoni Biryani

Hailing from Gujarat, this one is as spicy as any biryani can get. Slit chillies, fewer tomatoes, yoghurt, lamb, and potatoes come together to give us this marvel that you won’t be able to stop eating.

6. Mumbai Biryani

This one is cooked in true Maharashtrian style. Every grain of rice is separate from the spices and the meat. You can clearly distinguish all the ingredients, and for those who love a good onion and tomato raita, well, then Bombay is your calling.

7. Dindigul Biryani

Found in Tamil Nadu, this biryani is not cooked in coconut, so is a favourite in the northern regions as well. Lemon is used to give it a tang, which is also the dominant flavour of this kickass biryani.

10. Malabar Biryani

Steamed rice with chicken wings and a touch of turmeric, Malabar biryani is for those who like ’em legs. Jokes apart, it is a little salty, but when garnished with dry fruits, it complements the taste buds well.
